programming languages Oct 20 Ask HN: Time to read those programming books? The Shift from Writing to Reading Code Large language models are changing how programming gets done. More code is being generated by tools than typed by humans. In this environment, the ability to read, understand, and critique co... programming languages Oct 20 Show HN: dp_intl – Gettext-compatible internationalization library for C++ dp_intl 1.0.0 rethinks C++ internationalization without locale dependency dp_intl version 1.0.0 presents itself as a Gettext-compatible internationalization library for C++ with a specific mission: to improve upon the standard Get... programming languages Oct 20 TikTok employees said they knew about child safety issues, but execs failed to act TikTok Staff Warned of Child Safety Risks Executives Ignored TikTok employees raised repeated alarms about risks the platform posed to minors, according to court records obtained by NPR. The depositions, filed in federal court in... programming languages Oct 20 Show HN: Rouler – Steer Windows traffic per app or IP across multiple interfaces Rouler brings per-app split tunnelling to Windows A new Windows tool called Rouler lets developers route traffic from specific applications through different network interfaces at the same time. You can send browser traffic throug... programming languages Oct 20 Show HN: An Open Source Aircraft OpenPlane: parametric aircraft design in the open A new open-source project called OpenPlane brings parametric methodology to homebuilt aircraft design. The repository contains cost tables, structural specifications and a qualific... programming languages Oct 20 Show HN: Yana – A local-first, human-governed AI runtime and IDE in Rust Yana AI inserts a governance layer between models and machine actions A new open-source system called Yana AI positions itself as the control plane between an AI model and the real powers it can exercise on a user's machine. The p... programming languages Oct 19 Embedded AI evaluators won’t be an easy solution, Hugging Face’s policy chief says Model benchmarking faces a reproducibility crisis, Irene Solaiman, Hugging Face’s chief policy officer, told TechCrunch Disrupt. Labs stake reputations on evaluations supposed to measure whether one AI product outperforms another,... programming languages Oct 19 Show HN: Vlmhub – Simple Unified Python interface for vision-language models vlmhub Config-Driven Vision-Language Model Inference vlmhub is a lightweight framework for unified vision-language model inference across local and cloud backends. The system supports Ollama, MLX-VLM, vLLM, HuggingFace Transformer... programming languages Oct 19 Decoding base64 in Python at 10 gigabytes per second Base64 Decoding Performance in Python Base64 converts binary data to text using 64 ASCII characters. The encoding represents three bytes with four characters, making it more efficient than a one-character-per-bit approach. The for... programming languages Oct 19 Blind Precise Assembly: Proprioceptive Sim-to-Real Peg-in-Hole for Diverse Parts The dominant paradigm in robotic assembly has long relied on exteroceptive sensing—vision, force/torque sensors, or dedicated tactile skins—to guide contact-rich motions. This work questions whether a robot's own joint encoders pr...
